MSBR

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be a largely self-published musician. I've been unable to find anything that would satisfy GNG. There are a few fan tribute sites and a couple of articles on some obscure record labels like Steinkalang Industries and 4IB Records  but I don't think that passes GNG.

The biggest claim to notability is "collaboration" (however you want to interpret that) with some marginally notable acts. Working with others does not transfer notability. The Dissident Aggressor 15:42, 29 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - I remember in the late 90s MSBR was written about a lot in music magazines such as The Wire (magazine) and Bananafish magazine and was regarded as one of the main players in the Japanoise scene. I realise this is a rather weak argument as most of these references are not online and I don't have access to any databases that would help. I also can't read a word of Japanese. I don't think its fair to say he was largely self-released as his more important recordings came out on other labels such as RRRecords, Alien8 Recordings and Ecstatic Peace!. -- haminoon  ( talk ) 05:11, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - Obscure musician, "Koji Tano" (now a redirect to this page) turns up some results, but nothing in-depth, mostly dedications and tributes, still fails WP:MUSICBIO. Kraxler (talk) 16:25, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
